8.2.1 Installing and Configuring the Software

To install and configure the software that is required to run
Linux Containers:

Use yum to install the
btrfs-progs package.

[root@host ~]# yum install btrfs-progs

Install the lxc and
wget packages.

[root@host ~]# yum install lxc wget

This command installs all of the required packages, such
as libvirt,
libcgroup, and
lxc-libs. The LXC template scripts are
installed in /usr/share/lxc/templates.
LXC uses wget to download packages from
the Oracle Linux Yum Server.

Start the Control Groups (cgroups) service,
cgconfig, and configure the service to
start at boot time.
